    Sustaining Wellbeing in Ministry

    Those in ministry face a range of challenges to their wellbeing and increasing numbers of people in these complex and key roles are finding them to be unsustainable. While individual choices might strengthen resilience, a deeper understanding of the systemic issues which threaten the wellbeing of those in ministry is needed. What might really help support and sustain wellbeing beyond the individual level? This online workshop will explore the heart of these challenges, offering theological reflection, tools and models to explore preventative factors and risks. We will aim to aid self-reflection and identify key priorities, looking at systemic factors specific to ministry while also seeking to empower individuals to make helpful choices. Read more

    Leadership, Imagination and Innovation

    Organisations have invariably been based on predictable, linear understandings of change and agency. Leadership is therefore often about knowledge, authority and making the right decisions. New understandings of organisations, drawing on the field of complex adaptive systems, open up very different ways of conceptualising leadership. This half-day online course will explore this thinking practically and theologically. We will explore in particular how such thinking reimagines leadership as a means of creating the right kind of environment for creativity, imagination and innovation within the ministry and mission of the church.
